<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rono, post: 448220, member: 6492&quot;]Howdy BKM,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>First of all, you need to read and re-read both Cloudsweeper and GDJMSP.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Right now there is an extreme divergence between the paper price of bullion and the street price.&nbsp; This is being reflected in the enormous premiums on some popular bullion items.&nbsp; It&#039;s also resulting in some supply shortages here and there.&nbsp; This is abnormal.&nbsp; Whether or not it&#039;s Fair has nothing to do with anything.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>There are a lot of different ways to acquire and accumulate bullion.&nbsp; However, most of the differences are a matter of taste.&nbsp; If you&#039;re simply wanting to set aside a stash of bullion than you want to buy stuff with the smallest premium and generally that&#039;s ingots and plain vanilla rounds.&nbsp; It&#039;s NOT official coins.&nbsp; The next step is to buy official coins but stay with those with the smallest premium like the krugs and phillies and leafs.&nbsp; It is NOT eagles or buffalos.&nbsp; Eagles and buffs are nice because they&#039;re american and fungible and that&#039;s a lot of the reason for their higher premiums.&nbsp; Next would be older US gold but of the generic type w/o any significant numismatic premium.&nbsp; This would be Saints and Liberties and should be slabbed and probably MS-63 or better - just common dates.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Now, as mentioned, the market right now is extremely weird and none of use are going to change it.&nbsp; What you may consider is to slowly Dollar Cost Average you purchases so as to dampen any nasty up and down swings.&nbsp; This should also help to dampen the nasty high premiums - over time.&nbsp; For example, each month you would spend a specific dollar amount and buy whatever bullion you choose.&nbsp; If the price goes down, you should get more - if it goes up you get less.&nbsp; Over time, it should average out.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>good luck,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>rono[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
